Paganism has interested me for nearly 40 years, so whenever a new book on the subject shows up on a book review site, I snap it up. Since such books have burned me so much in the past, I took a look at the Table of Contents before deciding to review it. The TOC had a decent outline covering topics appropriate to green witchcraft, including gardening, common healing herbs, essential oils, and even fruits and vegetables. So I decided to review the book.
I was nearly immediately disappointed. The first glaring error I noticed was right in the introduction. There was a set of parentheses that just said “author’s name” within it. To me, that’s a clear sign that a content mill or ghostwriter had written the book, and the publisher was too lazy to go through and make the necessary changes. Sigh! Nearly laughable, in that same sentence, that nameless author claims to be a generational green witch, practicing for several decades. Ummm, when you don’t even remember to put your name in your intro… that’s hard to believe.
The book itself is an odd combination of spells and recipes. The recipes are very poorly written, as if done so by a person who doesn’t cook and doesn’t know what people look for in a recipe or cookbook. The measures are an odd combination of metric (mostly grams) and imperial measures, but even the latter are written strangely. Ever cooked with “units” of whole cloves or cinnamon sticks. Ever refer to a cup in a recipe as “1 cup (tea) and one half”? Yikes!
The book was rife with grammar and usage errors and was very awkwardly written in places, so much so that I suspect the writer is not a native English speaker. The writer didn’t seem to fully grasp the difference between modern witchcraft/paganism/Wicca and what our ancestors would have truly practiced. The bulk of the book seems to be an oddly mixed hybrid, heavier on modern Wicca than generational witchcraft, as promised in the introduction. I would have loved it if the book were heavier on “wise woman” green witchcraft of old than a mash-up of modern and what-may-have-been old-timey witchcraft.
If you are looking for a good book on generational green witchcraft, look elsewhere.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Could use one more pass for editing, most importantly on the recipes. Contained a handful of spells and recipes that could easily be adapted for personal practices. Found that the authors' biases were a bit evident and made me feel a little guilty for some of the non-earth-friendly things in my life. Would not consider not consider this a grimoire, but an introduction to some basics of the green witch.
An enjoyable read for the most part, but the book could have used more solid editing. I wouldn't use this if I were a new witch, but if you are experienced you'll be able to pick out the parts that have accuracy and value.
